Canine Caddy (1941)
Mickey's going golfing, and Pluto is his caddy. Besides the usual caddy duties, Pluto runs to the ball and points to it. But when the ball lands in a gopher hole, Pluto's got another task: chase the gopher. They eventually chase each other through a number of holes in a knoll where Mickey is trying to putt out, causing the knoll to collapse.

Such a frustrating disappointment
Excellent, a Must See
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
This was an enjoyable little animation by Disney, starring Mickey and Pluto.This is basically a gag short, so the plot isn't supposed to be very complicated or "deep", but it is pretty good anyway.The animation is magnificent, as in the other shorts from the Golden Age of Disney, with bright colors, cute designs, and lively movements (In sharp contrast with the rigid animations from the recent years) making the physical gags from this short effective and funny to watch. Even when this short doesn't have a particularly memorable plot, it was something delightful and well made.Definitely worth-watching.
Starting off with the good things, the animation is not bad at all, more pristine and colourful than it was in a short like Boat Builders(for example). The music was also wonderful, and the voice acting from Walt Disney and Pinto Colvig was pretty much top notch.As for the not so good things, the gags come by thick and fast and are entertaining on the most part, but others are predictably done. While a day at the golf course is an interesting concept, the cartoon was a little uneven. One reviewer summed it up pretty well, it is a case of too much gopher, not enough golf. Don't get me wrong the gopher was cute and funny, but I wished I could see more of Mickey. Also the pacing was a tad too fast.Overall, not a bad cartoon by all means, quite the contrary, it is just a little too predictable and uneven that is all. 7/10 Bethany Cox
"What a swell day for a game of golf," proclaims Mickey as he and his caddy "Goofy" set out to enjoy a round. In the end, his caddy demolishes the golf course by chasing a gopher around and around. the 18-hol course.In between are some funny scenes with Goofy "pointing" to the ball, having the ball land on his butt and Mickey knocking it off and a few other things. Too much of this animated short involves chasing the gopher and overall, it's just a "fair" cartoon. It just have stuck more with the golf story.
Although I'm usually a Donald Duck fan, I loved this cartoon. I've seen that cartoon about 50 times! Pluto was my favorite in it, But... Mickey was also cool. I rate it 10/10.
